After using Tsukuyomi to trap the consciousness of several people, the girl swam ashore with difficulty.
She was in a very bad condition now. Not only was she injured, but her chakra was also exhausted. She had just forced herself to use a pupil technique that was not her own—likely a borrowed Mangekyō—which had severely overdrafted her body.
But before she could catch her breath, something tickled her arm, followed by an electric current sweeping through her body.
Without chakra, she had no way to fight back and could only stare at the young man who suddenly appeared before her, eyes wide with surprise and confusion.
Girl: Why are you unharmed?
Tamura Hao (coldly): "Remove your Mangekyō technique—or I will kill you!"
It turned out to be this person!
The girl said nothing, raised her eyes to his without fear.
Tamura Hao: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Seeing her fearlessness, he pressed further.
Tamura Hao: "Then try this—I'll bring eighty strong men to serve you. You're young—can you handle that? Or would you rather let me take your first time?"
He spat the words with a villainous grin, lips curling like Orochimaru's serpent.
Girl (furious): "Shameless!"
He drew close, hand inching at her collar.
Tamura Hao: "Count to three. Release your Mangekyō or I'll do it for you. You're pretty—you're not at an advantage here."
Her glare seethed, but fear flickered. She forced herself to deactivate the illusion.
Fukai, on one knee: "What a terrifying illusion!" His voice shook.
He staggered, clutching his head. Even a brief encounter with Mangekyō Tsukuyomi can deeply scar the psyche.
The girl, pale and trembling, pressed her palm to her chest—pain seizing her.
Tamura Hao immediately noticed.
He wielded the Sword of Thor and delivered repeated electrical shocks to her torso.
Uz. Tamaba:
"Her Mangekyō drained her severely. In Warring States, Uchiha with that gift died from its toll. She's too young—her body can't sustain it."
The girl twitched violently; her face turning blue.
Tamura Hao checked her pulse: No heartbeat.
Her organs had failed.
He withdrew, used a trace of lightning chakra on her neck—hoping to restart the heart.
But her body lay limp.
Uz. Tamaba rushed over, injected chakra to her heart chakra node.
"She's more valuable alive."
Tamura Hao: "We can attempt a transplant. I carry hearts from Kinkaku & Ginkaku—and from Tobirama Senju. Tobirama's is still viable."
He produced three hearts from a seal inside his armor—originally bait for Kakuzu now used for life.
Uz. Tamaya (hesitant): "Use Tobirama's heart—but I can't guarantee success."
She summoned medical tools; she was trained in Senju-style medical ninjutsu.
Breathing deeply, she formed the shadow clone seal to perform the operation.
Despite her lingering headache, she focused enough to produce a perfect clone.
The clone made an incision, disinfected the field, and exposed the halted, necrotic heart—black and bleeding.
The clone clamped vessels with chakra, grafted Tobirama's heart into place, and reconnected veins with palm-centric chakra control.
Sudden alarm from Uz. Tamaya:
"Four chakra signatures are approaching—one at Chūnin level, three at Genin. They've likely traced our steps."
Tamura Hao: "You keep working on her. I'll distract them. One Chūnin and three Genin—no problem."
Fukai (half-conscious):
"Be careful. If things go south, use the detonation talisman."
He could barely see straight after Tsukuyomi—his head pounded, chakra reconnection shaky.
Tamura Hao didn't answer; he dashed into the woods.
His eyes glowed: Mangekyō iris with three slowly spinning magatama.
Though not fully compatible, his shared chakra with the Ten-Tails and Kaguya's residual will amplify his power—enough to challenge a small team.
Backing them, he prepared to engage: one Chūnin and three Genin were just right conditions for a test.
